In today's episode I talk about my distain for corporal punishment and how I go about using gentle/conscious parenting to raise my kids. I focus on a video that I saw which makes a joke out of abusing your kids for discipline and how this is harmful to the conscious parenting movement. Not to mention that these videos are seen as normal to thousands of parents who think monetizing your kids is safe and a "good thing."

Welcome every one, new and returning! In today's episode I ruminate on my worries around the kind of village my children need in terms of meaningful friendships. Sparked by a conversation I had with a friend about playgroups, I realized that my soon to be school age son has no "real" friends yet, and that got me worried. What if he doesn't make friends in time? Why can't I work harder to create a village for myself filled with kids his age so he has more opportunities to make friends? Will he feel lonely forever?
All of these questions are valid. If you're feeling stressed with the upcoming school year, and you haven't heard conversations around a kids' village, I hope you find some connection here.Subscribe, rate and review, and listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Hey mommas (and parents all shapes a sizes!) I am working on a bit of a brand re-design so stay tuned for that as we reach 30 EPISODES!!
This week I have been reflecting on all the way I am feeling so so tired, from mental exhaustion, to physically not being able to stay awake in the middle of the day to carrying the mental load of being the CEO of this house. Everything is taking it's tole, with the larger sleep deprivation hanging it's ugly head over it all! I'm sharing some pretty vulnerable things but I know it's important to talk about them, so thank you for joining me as I complain about how being a parent is just TIRING!!

A traumatic birth story with even more heartbreak to follow is the story I'm telling in this episode. I consider myself part of the NICU club now and I've learned a lot about resilience and grief that I hope I am ready for my next baby (when we try again!) For those of you who have lived this experience, I am so sorry. We are not alone, it's such a growing experience but never one I would want someone to go through. Our time spent in the NICU is not talked about enough, so join me as I tell my tale so that we break the silence on this taboo topic!

In today's episode I talk about how mothers and parents are pigeon holed into these groups and categories which dictate how we should live our lives. It can be really hard to break out of those molds to find true flexibility in our lives, but it is necessary so that we can be at peace with the one life we have to live.
Being a parent is hard enough without the expectations society (and as a result we) put on ourselves, so it's time to break out of those outdated ways of living and find balance in this community of support.
I'm currently reading Glennon Doyle's "Untamed" which is a huge eye opener!

Being a new mom can be extremely lonely, and I don't consider myself a "new mom" anymore, and I still feel immense loneliness and isolation on a daily basis. Even with the explosion of social media during COVID lockdown there is still something inherently lonely about raising little kids. There is a stigma that we should be able to do it all, but it also takes a village however we are stuck doing it alone because villages don't exists as they used to. This episode is dedicated to all parents out there feeling complete isolation, and like they are the only ones suffering. You are NOT alone, it can be so hard to reach out, but there are people there for you! Join me today for a little while so that we may feel less lonely in the future.

As I jump back into recording this week, I'm talking about why I've been away for such a long time, and why my mental health has taken a beating. It is so important to talk about how we struggle, even if that is with one trusted friend. The silence of mental health is what makes it fatal and so this week I am sharing my regression in the hopes that someone out there feels safe enough to break their silence.
So many things have happened in my life in the past month that have been pretty traumatic, and so my body was begging me for a time of rest; now I am in my time of recovery.

This week I talk about the importance of taking back control over parts of you life you might have lost while living in the trenches of motherhood. For me it was having control over my birthday and allowing myself to live in that special moment without guilt!
I also talk about what "The Growth Decade" is and how we can choose to envision our lives in decades so that we don't obsess over a mid-life crises. We are just getting started in this life and although birthdays can be daunting, I'm choosing to reclaim them as a time for celebration!

In today's episode I explore the term "homemaker" and how it affected the way I see my role as a mom. I have been living with this concept for about a year now and I've become fond of how it gave me clarity about my role within the home and outside of the home. Join me as I talk about how it's helped me combat my anxiety about my identity and how I hope to use it during this season of life.

From societal pressures to bounce back to the millennial paradox that was growing up when "skinny chic" was trendy, being a mom and having an actual positive outlook on your body feels impossible. I struggled with my weight and body image my whole life, so now that I'm a mom, I'm trying to focus on how strong my body is rather than what the world (and my inner voice) thinks I should look like to be accepted and worthy of love!
If you're feeling alone, please reach out to me on my socials, I am always here to listen!

In this episode I talk about my personal journey to re-parenting the little parts of me that needed better support when I was growing up. We are a sum of our parts, and I never felt like I was worthy of love. Now those parts that went un-loved get triggered when I'm parenting my children. The thing is, I've come a long way already to healing the wounds left by generational curses but I know the journey isn't over yet!
If you're feeling alone in your healing journey, reach out over on Instagram or FAcebook, I'm always here to listen.

They say the first 3 years are the hardest on a relationship once kids enter the scene, I can attest to that! So many things are happening to both partners during an intense time that it can be really hard to find the connection you once had before kids. These changes don't have to be permanent, as long as you're willing to communicate your needs and do the small things to show you still love each other.

Who am I? This week I get anxious and emotional talking about where we find our identities, how we define ourselves and how that affects our mental health. As a pre-cursor to a future episode where I'll talk about identity in motherhood and how many moms lose themselves to becoming moms.
There are so many ways we can identify, and many more ways that others perceive us it can be hard to figure out where we fit in. The unknown can be the hardest part, especially for me as my adoption really compounded the fears I have about my identity.Subscribe, rate and review, and listen wherever you get your podcasts!

From temper tantrums to potty training to a 3 hour night routine I feel like my toddler is putting me through the ringer! But I've also learned that the "terrible twos" are a social scare tactic to make us suppress and ignore just how beautiful of a learning time these years can be!

This week I'm working on not feeling so guilty for the choices I make regarding my family and the holidays! I'm also complaining about the expectation to be a super mom, especially around the holidays, the guilt we feel when we can't reach those expectations, and how to make the most of this time with our families.
Don't feel ashamed if you can't (and won't) do it all, we aren't supposed to, no matter what anyone tells you!
